FLASH: random problem

[Johnathan Kendall]

	Does anyone know how to get the 'play head' to go to a random

label, i've got it to go to a random frame using 


	'go to and play (random (x))'

	but this only works when the movie is published and not in the

stage in flash even when frame actions are turned on.


	however i can't get it to go a random label.

	I tried

	go to and play "(random(x))" 

	where the labels are consecutive numbers up to (x-1)

	but the head just jumps back to the start frame.


	I've done it in director but this was using 'markers'


	I am am a relatively new user of flash, and as a graphic

designer some of the programming issues are beyond my expertise so if

anyone could help i would appreciate it. I've searched the macromeia

site and there doesn't seem to be any info on this.


	hope someone can help before i pull out all my hair.
